Killing with Confetti by Peter Lovesey
Meh. Part of a long-running series featuring Detective Peter Diamond, and not the strongest entry.
The premise is intriguing: the son of a police chief and the daughter of a crime boss decide to marry, causing a security nightmare for the Bath police force. Diamond finds himself assigned to act as unwilling bodyguard to the crime boss. But too much time was spent in the first half of the book on characters who have nothing to do with the plot and essentially disappear in the second half. The final plot twist was clever, but not that well supported, so no recommendation on this one.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in return for a review.
